This is the 3rd compressor im replacing this week!
When the AC is on and i accelerate, the compressor makes a whirring/whining sound! On park, if i lightly step on the gas to 1000-1500rpm, the compressor makes a sound similar to the steering wheel/pump whir you hear when the fluid is low. And between 3000-3500rpm, it makes a more pronounced whirring sound like rrrrrrrr mixed with the steering type sound! You cant hear them if the radio is on or the windows are open but clear otherwise!
Changed 2 compressors that i bought used but under warranty cz i thought/think the compressor was defective! On the 3rd one now and noticing the same noise.
Is this normal or are the compressors bad?
